An irresponsible person who shone a laser light into a motorcyclist’s eye may have struck a number of times.

And Harris Stovell, who was temporarily blinded by the light as he rode through Tewkesbury, has warned people to think about the possible dire consequences of messing around with laser lights.

The 20-year-old, who divides his time between Cheltenham, where he lives and is a graphic design student at the University of Gloucestershire, and Twyning, where his girlfriend lives, was the victim of the incident at 6.20pm on Sunday.
